Merry Christmas! I hope Santa brought all that you hoped for.
I bought us this assortment from Kiuchi Brewery, makers of Hitachino beers...Real ginger ale, Daidai IPA, Shuwashuwa umeshu (fizzy apricot wine), classic Japanese ale & Red Rice ale...we'll probably start tasting a couple of these tonight.
Christmas eve was an assortment of nibbles...veggies with bagna cauda sauce, kamaboko dip with ritz crackers and karaage (fried chicken).
I also had a glass of prosecco.
This morning, we traded gifts and Satoshi went off to work. Low-key Christmas as usual. I can't believe that 2014 is almost over.
We appreciate all the cards and messages from family and friends! (Thank you!)
Happy Holidays everyone!
Merry Christmas Kat!

Take care.
